She was the aunt of Vedia, Narendra, Shardath, Chayreematie, Nadira, Vashtie, Satish, Geeta, Bimla, Savitri, Narrish, Usha, Vijay, Rishi and Anila. “Doll” was an amazing woman who was filled with life, courage, strength, grace, and generosity. She was one of a kind, a pillar of our family - a most endearing mother, but also a loving wife, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, great aunt, and friend. She was a masterful seamstress, gardened with a green thumb, had a deep affection for her cats and animals, and was a delightful cook. She had humility and benevolence that placed the needs of others always before her very own. Departing January 7, 2022, may she Rest In Peace, forever watch over us, and be our guiding light above.
